You're still strawmanning by lumping together a huge amount of people with different motivations under one homogeneous group.
> It gets to the point where it's absurd.
All of the examples you provide don't paint some cohesive picture, they come across as random, haphazard strokes with no form or meaning. Your original comment attempted to answer a question by ridiculing an entire demographic of people who care much more about human rights than you realize.
- jiggawatts 3y agoOkay, let me paint you a picture: I will never go as a tourist to certain countries. I don't want to support their economies with my dollars because I think they're morally bankrupt places. I also value my own safety, freedom, and the like. Think Russia, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, etc... That doesn't mean I'll just ignore their existence or forget to list them as places in the world. It's a uniquely Linux-fanboy thing to just pretend Microsoft doesn't exist, or that it's not even worth including in a list. "Superpowers: Russia, China, and India." "Hello!? United States!" "The united what?"
- soulofmischief 3y agoNo, your comment is still coming across as close-minded and judgemental, and you are likely engaging in sharpshooter's fallacy as well by examining a few cherry-picked examples to support this weird crusade you seem to have against "Linux-fanboys". Overall, this take feels immature and insensitive to the ideals that drive Linux users.
